This birdcage is brand new! It has never had a live animal inside of it. It boasts a slide-out base for cleaning waste, two food containers that attach to the cage walls, a water container, two wood roosting poles, and a yellow ring toy. It also has two slide up doors, and one large swing out door on the front.<br />
<br />
I have added a Ferret Ball toy from my daughter's un-played-with toy collection (with her permission, and at her suggestion). <i>She will be reimbursed!</i> This is an electronic / mechanical toy that rolls around in the cage giving the illusion of life.<br />

I was told to turn it into $200. Challenge accepted. I will do no work. I will do some travel.</div>
<br />
<h2>
The idea is this:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strike>Trade</strike> Buy the coolest item possible for the $2.00.</li>
<li>Take that item, and sell it for the greatest profit possible.</li>
<li>Take the proceeds, and repeat!</li>
</ul>
This is kind of like a game of bigger & better, except every other round will consist of selling the item instead of trading it outright.<br />
<br />
I think this project sounds fun, so that is what will happen.<br />
